If you are like most people who long to bask in a refreshing backyard swimming pool during the warm season, but do not know if you will be able to use the pool during the cooler seasons? It is possible to utilize your swimming pool for more than 3 months in a year, with an inground pool that is suitable all year-round.
The seasons
1. The Spring
After winter is gone and spring comes with new possibilities for your swimming pool landscape. The water may be still too cool to swim in, but you can turn your poolside landscape into a fragrant landscape by planting some blooming annuals and tropical plants and lounge in the beautiful landscape.
2. Warm Summer
Summer is the best season to go for a dip in your pool to enjoy some refreshing waters. Whether you are taking some laps in the morning or having some backyard pool parties in the evening, you will love the luxurious time spent enjoying the waters of your own pool.
3. Autumn
During the fall, you can enjoy wonderful dips in the steamy spa. The therapeutic steam soothes your muscles after working hard raking the fallen leaves. For leaves not to enter your pool, get yourself a pool cover to keep it safe in the long autumn and winter months.
4. Cold Winter
Depending on where you live, the cool winter days might raise the need to have an outdoor fireplace. Gather with your friends and family on the outdoor fire pit while roasting some delicious marshmallows and drink some soothing cocoa as you watch the steam ascend from the delightful spa. Have a basket of comfortable throws within easy reach if it is freezing.
